Sara Naison-Tarajano, a key leader at Goldman Sachs, has shaped Apex, a specialized team advising some of the world’s wealthiest family offices.
This team, launched in 2018, connects family offices with investment opportunities and expertise across Goldman’s divisions. Under her leadership, Apex has grown rapidly, now handling over a dozen deals annually and serving 600 global family offices.
A quarter-century Goldman veteran, Naison-Tarajano is known for fiercely supporting her colleagues and pushing for team flexibility. A notable instance involved securing a flexible role for a banker in Paris to retain her talent.
Naison-Tarajano’s journey from Brooklyn to Goldman includes a tennis career and aspirations in law. Her eventual pivot to finance was unplanned, yet her dedication and team-centred approach have earned her a solid reputation in an industry where trust is key. Apex, reflecting her commitment, has become a valuable resource for family offices, serving as a centralized access point to Goldman’s services.
